I think it was because it was really painful. You are about to go to the doctor and they will do your pap smear. It is a painful process. You will be sitting there while they stick one long thread into your skin, you will feel it go in and then you will hear that “pop”. The doctor will then pull out and say, “Well, we’re done.
I had a pap smear at the age of twenty-eight. I had had my pap since I was eleven or twelve. It was my very first time and it was painful. The doctor told me I would be fine and to please go back in 30 days. I was actually glad I went back because I could never have done it again. It was painful, humiliating, and really gross and I spent the first week lying in the bathroom with a huge blob of blood on my face.
Your pap smear really didn’t hurt that bad. But it isn’t because it was painful. It was because it was a painful pap smear. What is a pap smear? Well, it is a form of pap screening that many women use to pick up lumps of cells called “cervical mucus.” The mucus is harmless and it usually appears within the first six months of menopause, but it can cause pain if it is not removed properly.
Pap Smear is one of the most common reasons for women to go to the doctor for a medical procedure. The pap smear is done on a sample of cells of the cervix. The pap smear is not painful, but it does leave a big bump of white cells. These white cells can leave a person with a red spot the size of a pea on their chest. It is usually not visible to the naked eye unless you have been diagnosed with cancer.
A pap smear is not painful, but some women can experience extreme pain if the pap smear is done on a person who has the disease. Most women will have a pap smear done when they are at least 18 or 19. In fact, the American Cancer Society estimates that women under the age of 65 have an average of 10 pap smears per year.
Women, if you are reading this, you are most likely suffering from a cervical cancer, or cervical dysplasia. This disease is most common in women over 35, especially those in their 40s and above. Cervical cancer is the kind of cancer that can be prevented by regular Pap smears and regular checkups. In fact, it is estimated that 99% of all cervical cancers can be prevented.
It could be that you haven’t had a Pap yet. It could also be that you’ve had over a dozen. Either way, you would be well advised to get one. Here’s why.
Cervical cancer is actually a fairly easy to treat disease. The most common types of cervical cancer are squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and adeno-carcinoma. A Pap may be enough to keep most of these cancers from spreading.
But even if youve had a Pap every 3 months, you can still prevent more than 90% of cases of cervical cancer (about 80% after 3 years). So the next time you go to the doctor, tell them your Pap was out of date (or if youve had a Pap in the past, ask her to tell you when you should get yours again). The next time you get a Pap, tell her that you trust her to do this for you.
The process of getting a Pap will be painful in the beginning, but it can be the thing that stops these cancers from spreading. It takes about 4-6 weeks for a Pap to become clear and to be free of cancer cells. After that, you can usually just go back to your regular schedule.
